Baj, I don't know the Ayon to comment. But I did own the Duettes for about a year. They are great speakers and truly wonderful if your room is moderate to smaller in size. I ran the Duettes with a variety of SS amps, but also with some BAT VK-60 amps in mono configuration. The sound was very nice and performance excellent. The bass was better with the SS amps (no surprise there), but outside of that, the tubed amps were great.
Can't you get the Ayon amp before selling the ARC amp and then compare yourself? That is what I would do. I don't know how you came to the Ayon amp vs. others, but I am sure you have a good reason.
